It sure would be nice if when you muted certain
tracks....and then exported as MP3 or Ogg that those
tracks would stay muted thru the export.
Maybe on one track you have a drum fill. And you want
to export a version with and without the drum fill.
I would think you would:
1) mute the track and export.
2) unmute the track and export.
With the way it is now you get the same result.
I haven't found a good workaround.
If this issue has already been found, I apologize.
By the way... AWESOME software!!!
Thanks,
Kelly

I have version 1.2.1 and want to know why when i change the volume the =
waveform graph dos'nt register the change. i can't see if i have =
increased the volume too much(causing clipping) unless i shut the =
program down and then re-enter it. in Nero which i have been using it =
immediatley shows the new waveform. I use this facility to bring all my =
MP3 tracks up to the same volume.
Thank you

Hello!
Im a new user to audacity and not yet so familary with the program so if
Im suggesting something that already exists but I have not found, please
excuse my unkowledge.
Im spending my evenings with recording all my vinyl lp-records to mp3:s
and sometimes i find things that could be improved.
1 The slider for volume and recordning seem to have some tolerans
betveen for ex 5 and 6 but you cant exactly see what the setting is.
This is very annoying when im trying to keep som kind of similarity in
thel recording level. therefore i suggest that it is also possible to se
a box with exact recordinf level or volume level
2 I like also to have a feature where it is possible to save different
profiles where my different settings are saved wit different names.
3 Under effects the effect under bassboost (sorry, dont know the name in
eng) there is also a slide where you can adjust the amount of "scatter"?
but you really dont know how much in numpers, just in a position of the
knob.
If possible, take these in a new realese.
Regards,
Marco

By the way, one thing I wanted to ask about. When I do a noise removal, =
there's always a little bit at the end that does seem to get a removal =
done on. I have to delete the tip of it myself, which is a big pain when =
you have a lot of separate tracks. Do you know anything about this?
Thanks,
Matt

We realise that LAME is capable of more than we offer, however we have to strike a balance with the need for easy of use by beginners, not confusing them with 100s of options.

Whilst open source is easier to integrate than closed source apps, code integrated inot audacity has to work accross windows, Mac and Linux, so we would need to re-write the whole GUI in a portable form to use it.

Audacity is not really designed for MP3 tweaking like this - it is a tool for doing high quality, complex audio production and editing. To support direct MP3 manipulation (as the programs you suggest do) would require a complete restructureing of audacity's code base, which is currently all geared to manipulating raw, uncompressed audio samples.
Thank you for your Audacity feedback and in particular for your feature
request. While we can't make any promises, we definitely listen to
suggestions and do our best to implement features that users request.

wiki page, where you can vote for your favorite features, add new ones,

Yes, you can print out the manual one file at a time.

There is a playthrough option in the "Audio I/O" section of the
preferences in Audacity 1.2.2.
On some systems, there may be both "Hardware" and "Software" playthrough
options. The hardware option is better (less delay) but does not work
with all devices. If hardware playthrough doesn't work, choose software
playthrough instead.

Thank you for your quick response. However I was not able to separate
between the vocals and the music.
What may be the reason?
Thanks

Thanks so much for your help. On printing out the manual, would I just do
one page at a time by calling each up in word? Also, the quick reference
looks good so far. One more thing if I may, the folks at iMic tell me that
"Play Through" is included in Audacity. Can you tell me if it is and if I
need to turn it on somewhere or is it something separate I need to download?
Forgive me for being so illiterate in Audio. I am in graphics and have been
using computers as a photographer and a graphic artist but I have never made
the slightest attempt to record audio. When I try to record video the only
thing I can get to work is the video, I have never been able to capture the
audio at the same time. You can see how ignorant I am and why I need all the
help I can get with this stuff. All I want to do is copy my old 33 1/3
records, put them on DVD's and on my iPod. Lotsa luck, right?

When you save an Audacity project, it creates a project (.aup) file, and
a data folder. You can open the aup file to resume work on your
project. The data folder contains the sound data needed by the project.
When you are done editing, you can use the "Export" commands to save
your work as a sound file (AIFF, Ogg, etc.). Then you can delete the
project file and data folder if you don't want to use them again.

I'm using Audacity for OS X 1.2.2. I'm trying to open a 1.4GB AIFF
file. It says importing MP3 and the progress bar completes and
disappears, but then it seems to hang. I get the color-wheel and no
indication that the file is open. The CPU usage for Audacity hovers
around 90%. Any ideas. Thanks.

Hi,=20
What an improvement compared to the version I downloaded a year ago for =
a trial!
The only problem (but a crucial one) is that the program stops recording =
after about 17 - 30 seconds and its cursor keeps blinking at one =
position from that point on. The sofware itself does not freeze. It =
behaves the same way on my notebook (Win XP) and desktop (Win 2000). It =
has been doing it in both the old (do not remember the number) and the =
latest versions. This unfortunately makes this otherwise great program =
unusable for me. Any idea what the reason might be?
Thanks again.=20

Hi,
Great product, but Audacity 1.2.2 "unexpectedly quits" on attempting
to open long files.
G4 2x1.25, OS 10.3.5, 1gig RAM. Files are 50 to 70 minutes stereo 48k
exports from Final Cut Pro, around 300k. No problems with shorter
files.
Kindly let me know if there's a limit I should work around.
Cheers! -- Ben

Looks like is got deleted.
Thanks for you help - I appreciate you trying.

gday, its me again... i have tried many times to change the bit-depth
/ sample rate (in audio/midi setup) after opening audacity, but it wont
let me - it just keeps snapping back 8-bit and 8000kHz. i cant get it
to change back to useable figures until i restart the laptop. it still
works with stereo, but the quality is terrible. actually... i should
be more specific - it will let me change the sample rate up to 48000kHz
(the highest rate offered by the interface), but then when i try to
improve the bit depth figure, everything just snaps back to 8000kHz and
8-bit. hope you can shed some light on the issue! (it sounds shocking
recording at the moment!)
thanks for your help

This looks like another manifestation of the problem experienced by some iMic users, and documented here:

The work around given may work for you.
The problem shoudl be resolved properly in the next version of the audio library that audacity uses, but I'm not sure when that will be available.

I've been using Audacity since it was at something like 0.79 and never
had trouble before this version, which for me is a train wreck.
